Chapter 48

' Oh that…well she caused a damage that she needs to pay. I just did what any other person would've done if they were on my place. Besides I gave her a second option which she declined." I replied as I crossed my legs and sat comfort on the chair next to the door.
' You know about her background and she even got this scholarship to attend this school due to her academic excellence. How could you?"axel added.
' You two can help her out or….oh I forgot, your credit cards have been frozen till next two weeks. Don't worry she's a strong girl. I think she night even get it before her time is due." I said cackling loudly and they both threw nuts at me.
' Ah…you are unbelievable!" They said with a chorus.
'Yeah yeah…I know." I said with a smile as I walked to my room.
Oh, this is going to be much more fun than I expected. I took off my shoes and clothes and jumped into the bathtub for some warm bath.
I got ready for lectures the next day and bothaxel and Waylon wouldn't even serve me the right proportion of food.
'Ha…this wouldn't make me change my mind either." I said as I gulped down the tea they served me in a tiny tea cup and a small slice of bread.
'Besides I'm on a diet." I said to them and laughed as they both glared at me.
I intentionally passed by her class and you should've seen the first years drool over me and when I turned to have a look, she quickly hid
behind her bag pack.
'Nico-ah…" I heard someone call my name and it was Aurora.
' Hey…how was your night?" I asked her, and she giggled shyly before replying.
' It was amazing." She replied joining me and I slowly slide my right arm around her waist and I felt her shiver a little then smiled at me. I looked back and my eyes met Gianna's…when did she get out class? She glared at me and walked ahead.
'Tae-Jun-ah can we talk?" Zoe asked me and I noticed how she glared at Aurora.
' Okay sure…what do you want to talk about?" I asked her.
'Umm can you tell your 'fiancé" to excuse us?" She requested, and I whispered to Aurora to excuse us.
'Okay she's gone. I'm all ears."
' Don't you get tired of her clingy to you?"
'OH…you asked a good question. I do, I'm even tired of it." I said with a sigh.
' Elder brother…why don't you reconsider your decision about Gianna…I mean she barely earns anything and now you request for her to pay that huge amount of money. It's so unfair." She said with a sorrowful tone.
' I gave her two options and she decided to go with the first option, so I am not responsible for her decision."
' But you know how hard headed she is…she wouldn't want to go with a second option."
' Then it's not my fault that she decided to go with the first option. Don't worry, she'll eventually come up with something. Maybe she has some sources that will get her the money."
' Elder brother…"
'Zoe-ah…you know how much I like you, but this is her battle so please don't try to come in between because it will be of no use." I said smiling at her and pinching her cheeks playfully.
'Bye…I've got to go." I said waving at her and she frowned at me, but I chuckled as I walked ahead and blew kisses at her which she shove her shoulders as if she was shoving off the kisses. She's so cute.
Days went by and I barely saw her on campus, is she avoiding me ?
' Thanks to you I can't get to hang out with my dearie Gianna like first." Waylon said to me as he smacked the back of my head.
' Why is it my fault?" I asked as I arched his head underneath my arm.
' She's been going for part time jobs and I heard she has over five part time jobs. I feel bad for her."
Hyang replied.
' Arh well…" I said and walked ahead of them.
How can one person have over five part time jobs? How is she copping with it all?
Or was I too harsh on her for giving her just a week?
Oh no…I don't think so; besides I gave her another option, but she made the decision herself.
It's no way my fault, right? Or I'm I partly at fault…oh no no…there's no way I'm at fault here.
She will eventually come back and request for the contract. She has just a day to pay right.
I decided to go for a walk near the sea when I saw someone walking towards my direction…the lesson got closer and it was her. I pretended not to have seen her and turned to watch the sea.
' You know you have just a day, don't you?" I asked the moment she got closer and she paused.
' You don't need to remind me." She snapped at me and I chuckled.
'You seem confident don't you. Why bother yourself with over five part time jobs when at the end you wouldn't be able to get the amount to pay back."
' That's none of your business." She snapped at me and passed by me.
'You still a second option though."
' I will never sign that contact. I won't allow you to boss me around and become your slave for
Or the next hundred days. Never!" She fumed and walked away.
'You never give up, don't you?" I said more to myself as I watch her walk away angrily towards her dormitory.
Let's wait and see if you'll get the amount…you'll come back and request for the contract.
FINAL DAY OF PAYMENT
'So, are you seriously going to take that money?"axel asked me and I nodded as I sat in my car and drove off. I parked in front of her dormitory and asked a girl passing by to call for her.
I heard my phone ring a few minutes after sending the girl, it was an unknown number.
' Hello?"
'Yeah…please is this Princeian?" 'Yeah, it's me…who am I talking to please?" ' Oh, it's me…Hoo…"
'Gianna?"
'Yeah it's me…Actually I called to ask a question."
'I'm in front of your dormitory…I'm waiting for my payment but then ask your question."
' Umm…this is really hard but then…umm is option two still available?"
I smirked upon hearing that question… I got her right where I wanted her.
'Oh yeah, it's still available but then I'm taking my payment."
'If it's not two late…can I go with the option two?"
' Umm you told me you would never go with the second option no matt…"
'Yeah I know I did but then I was wrong. Please let me go with the second option…please."
'Oh…okay…but then you'll need to sign the contract."
'Did you bring it along?" ' I did."
'Then I'll be right there, please wait for me." She said and hanged up.
Oh my, this is going to be exciting… no one wins against me Gianna…I told you will eventually
come crawling for the contract. I tried my best and hid the smile on my face and straightened up as she got out the dorm and came to me.
' Here's the contract." I said handing it over to her and she took it from me quicker than expected.
She flipped through and brought out a pen from her side pocket and chewed on her lower lip before signing.
'Here… I'm done." She said handing it over to me. I went through it with so much pride and I had my smirk on.
' Remember if you go against any of the rules, you're going to go through another hundred days."
' Yeah I read through it and I know."
'Okay then we have a deal." I stretched my hand for a handshake but then she spat I to her palm and was about to shake my hand with it when I pulled away.
' So, when does the contract start?" she asked, and I grinned at her.
' Today."
'Today?"
'Yes, see it's written here very clearly (showed her the date) hop in we need to go somewhere." I said to her and she gulped.
'Huh?"
'Will you question your master when he others you?"
'Ah…damn it." She cursed with clenched teeth as she walk over to the other side of the car and sat inside.
I got inside and drove straight to the castle.
' We're here…now come out and let's go." I ordered, and she groaned before coming out of the car and slammed the door loudly.
The workers kept bowing to me as I walked past them, and they kept looking at Gianna.
' Your Highness, please Princeian is here to see you." Said the head maid.
'Let him in." I heard my mom reply. I asked Gianna to stay behind and
I walked into her chambers and she hugged me happily.
'How have you been my baby?"
' I'm fine mother. How is my sweet mother doing?"
' Oh dear, I'm doing great. What brings you here this morning?"
'Well mom, remember I once told you I would love to have my own personal maid if possible and then you and Dad agreed to it?"
'Oh, how could I ever forget…Is that why you came over?"
' Something like that. I would like to introduce someone to you…someone I would like to be my helping hand both at school and at the castle."
'Really…I would like to meet see who she is."
'Come in Gianna." I ordered, and she came walking into my mother's chamber with her head low.
'Greetings your royal Highness." She said with courtesy and I was marveled.
'Wow…she sure has manners. I would like to have a look at your face my dear." Mom said to her.
' I'm honored your royal Highness, but how can I lift up my head in front of the Queen."
'Do not worry dear, it isn't a crime. I would love to have a look at my son's helping hand and personal maid."
She slowly lifted up her head and avoided eye contact with mother as she looked up.
' Wow, such a beauty. What's your name dear?"
' Gianna your Highness." She replied politely.
' Such a beautiful name for a very beautiful young woman. I hope you wouldn't be bother being his helping hand."
'Not at all your Highness. It's an honor to get to be the crowned Prince's personal maid and I promise to do everything in my power to please him and abide by his orders and rules."
' Wow. I'm really impressed." Mom said to her as she smiled at me and I smiled back.
'We will let her go through series of tests and see if she's fit enough to serve you dear. I'll let Madam . take her through the tests and then we will come to a decision."
' Okay mother. I'll bring her early tomorrow morning for the test then."
'Okay son. '
' We will take our leave now mother." 'Take care son…and you too Gianna."
' I will your Highness. Thank you." Gianna replied with courtesy.
We left for campus and she stormed out of my car the moment I pulled over in front of her dorm.
' Will see you tomorrow. You heard the Queen, you'll have to go through series of tests." I said to her and she glared at me.
' I hope I fail them all, so I don't end up being your maid." She snapped at me.
' Then you'll have to pay for the damages then." I said with a chuckle and she groaned and stormed into the dorm, pushing anyone in her way aside.
Oh, this is going to be exciting.
